@ScottMcGrathUK @AlanWolfson @AJHeadtoHead @mehdirhasan I'm not trying to shut the conversation down. Can you point me to where I did? I believe I said "we need to use accurate information for the conversation". Your refusal to actually engage with what he was criticised for and repeatedly pivoting to a different point is suspect

@fwglover I think the actual quality of next clothes has decreased somewhat, but they are better looking

Calculations:
Median gross annual earnings in 2000: £18,848
Median gross annual earnings in 2024: £35,464

(Per ONS)

Average Fee for private schools in 2000: £1,759
Average Fee for private schools in 2024: £6,021

(Per the ISC annual census, looking at Day fees for day schools)

[Nathan @nathanchalky]

Since 2000, the average private school fees have risen circa 242%.
In the same period, wages have risen 88%.

Private schools have become a huge amount more expensive in the last 24 years, and increasingly inaccessible to almost everyone.

[Nathan @nathanchalky]

However, private schools are now, more than ever, inaccessible to all but the wealthiest.

Adding VAT to this, in my opinion as someone who attended an independent school, is way overdue.
